Hi!
I'd like to use functions from other packages in my own package. How to do this?
I've tried:
BeginPackage["TestPackage`",{"Statistics`ContinuousDistributions`"}]
TestFunction::usage = "TestFunction[<list>]"
Begin["`Private`"];
TestFunction[list_]:=
{
Mean[list]
}
End[];
EndPackage[]
The problem is, that Mean is not known in the Testfunction or - if the testfunction is declared outside private - I got the error-msg that Mean is shadowed by other packages.
Trying to use Statistics`ContinuousDistributions`Mean[list] doesn't work either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
marko
